To all whom it may concern:

Figure. 2, a plan view.

This invention consists in a vertical standard, provided with a recessed circular head, and combined with arms pivoted in the recesses of the head, and provided with folding bars, which may he turned down, so that their lower ends rest on the ground when the arms are extended, so as to form supports at the outer extremities of the same.

In the drawing a is the supporting standard.

a h t are three sets of arms jointed in the recesses of the three heads, respectively.

It lot are braces respectively supporting the sets of arms.

n 'n n are flanges of the standard which receive the lower ends of the braces 7: I m in sockets, when the arms are extended.

It horizontally.

There is nothing peculiar in the construction or operation of the upper apd lower sets of arms.

' The arms h ot'the middle set, however, are jointed at their outer ends to bars 0, which are of suchlength that, when the arms h are extended and the bars 0 tumcd down into a verticai position, they support the arms \Vhen the arms are folded down against the side of the standard, the bars 0 are turned up compactlv side by side with the arms.

Braces 1, pivoted to the arms,- may be turned into sockets in the bars 0 when the arms h are extended, so as to assist in supporting the latter.

Pins s are set at angie's int-o the head b, and in this position are useful to hang hats and coats or other garments on.

Having thus described my-iuvention,

What I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

The arms h, and supporting-bars 0, combined with the standard a, and constructed and operating substantially as described.

DAVID MORRIS.
